The '''Hanshin Kobe Kosoku Line''' (阪神神戸高速線 ''Hanshin Kōbe Kōsoku sen'') is one of three lines of the [[Kobe Rapid Transit Railway]], operated by [[Hanshin Electric Railway|Hanshin Railway]] and [[Hankyu Railway]].  Trains from Hanshin, Hankyu and [[Sanyo Electric Railway|Sanyo]] railways enter this line.

Since the Tozai Line connects three lines, it has three termini: [[Nishidai Station (Hyogo)|Nishidai]] in the west, [[Hankyu Railway|Hankyu]] [[Sannomiya Station|Sannomiya]] and [[Motomachi Station (Hyogo)|Motomachi]] in the east. All three were opened in 1968. Tracks from the three termini meet at [[Kosoku-Kobe Station|Kosoku-Kobe]]. Unlike the [[Namboku Line (Kobe)|Namboku Line]], it has [[standard gauge]] [[rail tracks|tracks]], {{RailGauge|sg}}.
